The fierce cat even hissed at her when she tried to approach him to feed.

She did not give up and continued to be nice to the cat hoping that one day she would win his heart.

Even though the cat looks angry and stressed, it kept showing up outside her window.

This made her realize that maybe he was hurt by humans, which made it difficult for him to trust.

Anastasia felt that somehow they had the same personality, so she made him feel safe and loved by giving him food every day.

She even named him “Tiger.”

Sutcliff also noticed that Tiger stays outside as compared to the others who were already gone after eating.

So she set up a cozy house where he could spend the night.

Then, one day Anastasia finally gained his trust and he allowed her to pet him, which made her happy.

However, their happiness did not last long because her neighbors called the animal services to take away Tiger.

It is against a rule in Anastasia’s apartment to keep any pets, which meant that she have to say goodbye to her newfound friend.

What happened to Tiger made her feel devastated, but despite feeling down, she courageously made sure that he was safe.

Fortunately, animal control immediately found a foster home for him.

Tiger moved, which made it easier for Anastasia to visit him.

She made sure that her cat friend would see him again.

Upon meeting each other after some time, it seemed that Tiger had already forgotten about Anastasia.

This challenged her to prove to Tiger that she values their friendship.

She tried to negotiate with her landlord to keep Tiger with her.

Although the management was very strict with their rules, Anastasia convinced them to be with her best friend.

Many of her followers were also happy with her announcement. One of the comments said,

“Casually screaming. Congratulations on finding each other ❤️#proudcatparent”

Anastasia and Tiger remained good friends.

Their unpredictable relationship has become stronger and deeper, but they still have each other as a reminder that love always finds a way.
